One Response to “New Rules From Bill Maher”

Did you read Bill Maher's comment on the Huffington Post yesterday? He was decrying the dumbing down of America.

While I admire Bill Maher a great deal, I am forced to take issue here. This pitiful America of which he speaks is very real. Of that there can be little doubt to anyone who has bothered to pay attention. But like a lot of people on the Left (I am sorry to say) he totally ignores – whether by accident or design – the undeniable advantages of living in the America of the first decade of the twenty-first century.

For example:

I never finished High School. In fact I dropped out at the very beginning of my Junior year. In spite of this unfortunate fact, the I.Q. of my country has dropped to such a horrifying degree in the last thirty years, whenever I arrive at a gathering of, say, two or three-hundred people, I am reasonably confident that I am the smartest person in the room.
